Positions That Effect Sleep.

According to DR.. Granville tho posi-
ton affects sleep. A constrained posi-
ton generally prevents repose, while a
comfortable one wooes sleep. He says
lying fat on the back with the limbs re-
Taxed would seem to secure the greatest
amount Of rest for the muscular system.
This is the position assumed in the most
exhausting diseases, and it is generally
hailed as token of revival when pa
tient voluntarily turns on the side but
there are several advantages in the
supine posture which impair or embar.
rass sleep. Thus, in weakly states of
the heart and blood vessels and certain
morbid conditions Of the brain the blood
seems to gravitate to the back of the
head and to produce troublesome dreams.
In persons who habitually in their
gait or work stoop, there is probably
some distress consequent on straighten-
ing the spine. Those who have con-
tracted chests, especially persons who
have had pleurisy and retain adhesions
of the lungs, do not sleep we'll on the
back.
Nearly all who are inclined TO snore
do so in that position, because the soft
palate and uvula hang on the tongue,
and that organ falls back so as to partly
close the top of the windpipe 1t Is bet
ter, therefore, to lie on the side, and in
the absence of special diseases rendering
it desirable to lie on the weak side so as
to leave the healthy lung free to expand,
it is well to use the right side, because
when the body is thus placed the food
gravitates more easily out Of the stomach
into the intestines, and the weight Of
the stomach does not compress the upper
portion of the intestnes.
A glance at any Of the visceral
anatomy will show this to be. Many per-
sons are deaf in one ear and prefer to
lie on n particular side but, if possible,
the right side should be chosen Again.
sleeping with the arms thrown over the
head is to be deprecated; but this posi-
ton is often assumed during sleep, be-
cause circulation is then free in the OK.
tremities, and the head and neck and mus
Giles Of the chest arc drawn up and fixed
by the shoulders, and thus the expan-
sion Of the thorax is easy.
The chief objection to these positions
Is that they create a tendency to cramp
and cold in the arms, and sometimes
seem to cause headaches during sleep
and dreams. These small matters often
make or mar comfort in slceping-Bos-
ton Bmlget.

We All Break Down There.

lie was about to die for cold blooded
murder. Standing beneath the gallows
he made n short talk He spoke of his
impending death with slight emotion.
Then of "his people" with some signs
OF tears. Then Of his wife with sobs
and trembling voice. Then "his old
mother'---and there he broke down COM
pletely and gave way to uncomfortable
grief.
Alb, yes IL is right there that we all
break down. At the thought Of "the
old mother with her grazing hairs,
her kindly face, across which time and
sorrow are cutting their burrows, and
her faith and affection that never wavers
or doubts. 1t is to 'the old mother"
that mans heart turns at last when trou-
bic or affection or remorse overtakes
him. Other loves may be stronger aud
tho passion Of other loves obscure this
for time. The wife clinging in alb
sorbed happiness to the arm, or little
one clambcring, fond and trustful. about
the knee, may efface all thought OF 1.-The
old mother" But when u great crisis
comes and the strong man is bending
beneath burden too grievous to be
borne the vision comes TO him Of one,
idcalized in his heart, who never doubted,
who never wearied, but who loved all
the time with love that passeth under
standing The wife, wondering ut this
at first, accepts it at last, quietly ac-
quicscing, but happy in her mothers
heart to know that from her own chill
drcn in the days to come this same mira
Gle shall be rendered unto her.-Atlanta

Tie Voice Of children,

Much can be done BY mothers and
teachers to cultisate the voice of chill
dren. Instead of thernasal shrieks used
by ~ many children encourage them to
use pure. round. smooth tones. Teach
them to open tho mouth and not TO
humble and not to speak through the
nose, Much Of the unpleasant habit of
mumbl;ng comes from i'll humor, as we'll
as lqziness, or disuse Of the muscles of
the mouth aud jaw. Cheerfulness is a
good lubricator, and the, duty Of cult
vatiug spirit Of checrfulness and the
desire 70 please should be imposed upon
children BY percept aud habit.
The dlsagreeable nasal tones NAV be
avoided with due care. See that chill
dren have a sufficient supply Of hand
kerchiefs and insist upon their use.
There is physiological reason for this.
Hthe real passages are not freed It will
eyentaslly lead 10 catarrh and disease Of
the throat, and 30 tds basal habit win
be confirmed. Teach the children to
keep the mouth closed except when
speaking, and then to let the voice come
clear and pure out Of the mouth, and not
through the nose, instead OF reversing
the process--breathing through the
mouth and talking through the nose.
The rude boisterous singing (?) in.
obliged in at many Of our public schools
cannot fail to be injurious to youthful
voices. A word to mothers. teachers
and nurses, Keep your own voice down,
avoid shrill, high tones. Poor old Lear
in his deep distress at the death of Cor
della, could say nothing more pathetic
than "Her voice was ever soft, gentle
and low-an excellent thing in woman

Marriage and Death superstitions.

The bride must not keep the pins
which fastened her wedding dress.
It is bad luck to whistle or hum the
air that band plays at n funeral.
Twice q bridesmaids, never bride"
is proverb which needs no comment
Marry at the time Of the moons wan
ing and your good luck will wane also.
If two marriages are celebrated sim
ultancously, one Of the husbands will
die.
Fair or foul weather upon ones we'd
ding day augurs happy or unhappy
married life
If a girl who is engaged accidentally
lets knife fall, it is sign that her
lover is coming
The girl who steps, accidentally or
otherwise, on u cats tail need not expect
TO be married the same year.
The husband must never take Off his
wedding ring 10 take it of will insure
him bad luck Of some kind.
If two persons think and express the
thought at the samo time, ono Of them
will die before the year passes.
II two young girls arc combing the
hair Of third at the same timo, it may
be granted that the youngest of the
three will soon die.
Il is bad luck TO cross funeral pro-
cession, or to count the number Of car
riages in IL; if you do count them, you
may expect to die after tho expiration
Of as many weeks as there were car
riages at the funeral.
II at the cemetery there be any un-
usual delay in burying the dead, caused
by any unlocked for circumstances, such
as the tomb proving too small to admit
the coffin, it is sign that the deceased
is selecting q companion from among
those present, and one Of the mournerl

Never were soven.league boots given
Except in the fairy tale,
Nor can wishing hurry the speed, or carry
One over peak and dale,
Step by step, In shine and shade,
Is the long road travelled, the journey made
Second by second time is reckoned,
AS winged are they as bees,
Too swift for counting, yet soon amounting
To years and centuries.
Every tick of the clock says one
And all 1t can do for the world is done.
Small however the true endeavor,
Great may Its outcome be,
A burden lightened; a lone life frightened
A slave to sin set free;
The sick and the sorrowing visited,
The naked clothed and the hungry fed.
